Mark's 30th Birthday Dinner

On Saturday of Mark's birthday weekend, the boys starting off their weekend like this:

Playing Video Games

Video games were followed by this:

That was a Friendly's Jubilee Roll.

The boys really could have played video games all day (it was Lego Indiana Jones if you must know) but I had made dinner reservations in New York City and planned for a few of our friends to meet us there (unbeknownst to Mark).  The restaurant we went to was in the theater district and it was called Trattoria Trecolore.  I would say that food was good but not great.  I would go there again if we were in the area and needed a place to eat but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again.  We had great company though and had a great time.

 

After dinner we walked up toward Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree.  This year I actually saw the tree the day they put it up, but it was not yet decorated.  If you've never seen the tree in person, it definitely looks nicer and more majestic on TV, but it's also cool to see in person.  

We finished the night by having a drink at an Irish pub called The Long Room.  It ended up being the same place we had lunch when my dad and brother were visiting!  We had so much fun and thanks to all our friends for helping us celebrate!
